Rationale Group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2 and mGluR3) have been suggested to play an important role in mediation of drug-reinforced behaviors, as well as in the mechanisms underlying relapse in abstinent subjects. The prototypical mGluR2/3 agonist, LY379268, has been shown to attenuate nicotine reinforcement and cue-induced reinstatement of drug seeking in rats, as well as reinstatement...
Based on rodent studies, group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2 and mGluR3) were suggested as targets for addiction treatment. However, LY379268 and other group II agonists do not discriminate between the mainly presynaptic inhibitory mGluR2 (the proposed treatment target) and mGluR3. These agonists also produce tolerance over repeated administration and are no longer considered for addiction...
